“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“The first thing you notice is the quirky decor & immediately feel at home. The second is the excellent customer service, southern hospitality at its finest. I ordered the crab cakes with poached eggs on top. I will never eat a crab cake anywhere BUT here. Their food was delectable and by far the BEST food I’ve had while in NOLA. Our server gave great free entertainment advice for us tourists and was highly attentive. All this to say, don’t come to NOLA & miss out on Elizabeth’s. They are a MUST experience.“

“Spent the day in New Orleans stopped in to have some lunch the chicken and waffles was amazing thanks to our waitress Leslie everything came out perfect and on time.“

“I was looking for a lowkey place for dinner after working all day and this was the perfect choice! The ambiance was great, food was top tier and the service was exceptional. Mason was my server and he made amazing recommendations. I had the gumbo, brisket, and a desert to go. All were amazing! Even other servers were kind and welcoming (hi Jimmy!). I can’t recommend this place more, and I will definitely be back!“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“Great food reasonably priced. Much better than some of the better known and prettier places we’ve eaten at in Nola. We had the super dome and Benson Boogie. We will be back!“

“Stopped in after church and was pleasantly surprised. Ate at the bar and was waited on immediately. Food was excellent. My husband said that I was judging him because he didn’t have a crumb left!??“

“Fantastic food. Highly recommend the gumbo yaya.“

“What an amazing, thoughtful, and tasteful experience at Etoile! Kat, the bartender was so charming and informative of the new tasting menu that is happening starting today! Get yourself over there for a cocktail and small plates. Everything is farm-to-table, locally-made or in-house. The cheeses were incredible that are made in house. The passionfruit sour cocktail was divine.

There is even a lovely local cat with a cute bowtie that matches the interior that comes around outside.

Big ups! This place was a perfect outing. No reservations needed. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!“

“Oysters and pita/crab dip were delicious! Service was a little rough. My husband got his oysters before I got my meal- he had that and his drink finished before I received my food. We tried to be patient because they were somewhat busy, but watched our server take off her apron and leave before ever coming back to our table after drop off. We had 2 other waiters and what looked like management walk by several times, and even though I tried to get their attention, never looked our way or stopped. Finally made eye contact with a gal working closer to the front who came over and was very sweet, apologizing as our waitress had just quit. She brought out my food that'd been sitting there for quite a while, so the muffalettas weren't great, coleslaw warm. She never came back or reassigned someone to us, no one checked on us for drink refills, etc. Had to flag her down to place another food and drink order, again because no one else was helping us. After that, zero service, no one stopped at our table to check on us, and nothing 'taken care of' for the mishap. We came at a time where we were able to see the end of one band and start of a new- both fantastic, so that was good. Would recommend based on food and music, maybe not so much service.“

“Loved Willie Mae's the best bartender was Jasmine and her passion lemon drops Gumbo Corn bread and fried chicken I can't wait to go back now and I've been to Nola like 8x and had never stopped in A must now on my list“

“Great food, Great atmosphere, 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Great food and nice staff“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! They were delicious! The service was so nice and so friendly everything came out pretty quickly and I could not have asked for anything better in Louisiana! I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants around here and this one is the best! There was literally nothing left after we got a half of a chicken! We got a large potato, we could have eaten double that because it was just so good! Please try this place because it is the best and it will not disappoint!“

“Absolutely phenomenal food and service. You won't regret eating here, not one bit!“

“Good choices for breakfast that are affordable.“

“Great vibe and decor. Bonnie was a fantastic host and the food was amazing. 5*“

“Food was plentiful, great tasting and the server was EXCELLENT with her customer service skills. Bye Wags hello Woodmere Deli .“

“My favorite Poboys in New Orleans!“

“Best chicken ever!“

“Food is very good, well seasoned, with chunks of ham and pork, sausage, plenty enough food to fill you up. I had the every monday southern meal, red beans and rice, with a smoothered porkchop, and a side of french bread. Taste was good, price was below 15 dollars with tax, and more than enough food on the plate to have it to go! The area is not great, but its close to alot of bussinesses and close to St Charles ave. Over all, i will be back to try other hot food plates they will have later on. Their AC might not work well, but hopefully they ll fix it soon, bc these dog days of summer is pretty brutal.“

“I experienced this restaurant for the first time when I came here from New York!It was very good!“

“We had a breakfast wrap that was Amaazing............“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“Friendly ppl great food I was in New Orleans and they treat u like you are from there just all around good ppl THANKS“

“Spent my birthday here in May. What a way to celebrate! I felt like royalty. The food and service were equally matched 10/10. The portion size was perfect and the drinks were amazing. Valet was also great. I will be visiting again.“

“Great service, friendly atmosphere“

“The food was off the charts! Beautiful presentation and even more incredible flavors. I couldn't put the cornbread dressing down! Must try...and then try some more again!“

“I was just looking for something to eat and did a quick Google search when the name of the restaurant caught my eye. I went there and met the owner, who was welcoming and showed me the best way to order so I could get the best value for my money. When the food came out, I enjoyed every bite. This was my first time, and I will definitely be back.“

“To begin, the dining room looks amazing. Clean and polished with ample seating. We were immediately greeted by a friendly associate and shown to our reserved table. Service was prompt and delightful & the drinks and starters were excellent. Next, the Entrees were more than enough portion wise my favorite being the Chipotle flavored crunchy peanut butter smash burger loaded with cheese & bacon.“

“Delish! Love the cornbread!“

“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?“

“Great vibes friendly and loving staff and the owner is outstanding“

“Here for Mardi Gras, staff is phenomenal. True southern hospitality! & We love Sabrina the bartender!“

“My favorite New Orleans restaurant. The food is always fresh, flavorful and delicious. Frank keeps the menu seasonal and world with what's fresh in the market. New Orleans is home to many fine dining restaurants but none dinner than Brigtsen's. it's friendly, distinguished, welcoming to all. I'm not a fancy person and I've never felt out of place here. You won't find a better place to dine.“

“Beautiful courtyard and delicious food. Our waiter"s recommendations were spot on. Would definitely return.“

“Went for a lite meal & shared the Gumbo, a Caesar Salad w/Oyster & Mixed greens salad w/blood orange, goat cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds, & grilled shrimp. All was excellent but the Caesar may have been the best I’ve ever had. Loved this place. Will return for more.“

“Great food and service. This was our first eating experience in New Orleans. Gallier’s set the bar high. We enjoyed the red snapper and seafood platter for lunch.“

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

“Wow! Three of us ate lunch at Cafe Reconcile, the food was absolute perfection. We started with the fried turkey necks appetizer. Going into it we weren't sure what to expect but let me tell you.... they were unbelievably good!!! All of us had the Fried Green Tomato BLT on Jalapeno Cornbread Toast.... more perfection! Side dishes were Gumbo and Sweet Potato Crumble.....yep, perfection! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and absolutely spotless. The staff were exceptional and very attentive. The prices were extremely reasonable and I guarantee you won't find better food at an expensive high end restaurant. Be sure to check this place out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Just the best food!! The real deal!! And the staff is great!!“

“My bestie and I visited Monday during Essence Fest Weekend and had the best server Centorrey. She was very attentive and honest from the time we sat down til the time we departed. Her customer service was A+++ Centorrey made coming to this restaurant a joy that I had to see her manager personally and verbally tell him what an amazing job she did. Thank you so much Centorrey and Hadji (Manager) for a great experience. The food and drinks were on point as well just removed those little airplane fans because that do nothing for that NOLA heat. I'll see you guys on my next visit“

“The bar staff were absolutely phenomenal. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was exceptional. We will definitely be back!“
